World Cup

[Pawsitive Thinking]

In-ger-land, In-ger-land, In-ger-land.........sorry getting carried away!! 7 hours to kick off

[Miss Z]

COME ON EN-GER-LAND!!!

I found the video for Vindaloo on youtube, what a fantastic song!!!

[beeniesmom]

YEAH!!! Italy is winning againsts the Czecks with only 10 mins to go.
Sorry for the US againsta Ghana. Doesn't look too good.

[smokey the elder]

Oh well. Now we have to wait to 2010 to try again.

One of the really neat things about the World Cup is the children escorting each player to the pitch. Is this unique to the Germany World Cup, or has this been done before? I don't remember it happening when the WC was held in the USA in 1994.

Children as mascots are generally used in every game of football as far as I am aware. I don't think I have ever seen so many before - usually one per game as opposed to one per player. But I may be wrong, I don't follow football closely. Maybe someone else knows differently.

Whoa!!!! Germany has reached the Quarter-Final!!!

You have no idea what's going here at the moment; the entire country is going crazy these days!

You see German flags everywhere; on the cars, and the houses.... Since Germany is a country with not much patriotism, this is really something special!

Even Reinhold (my mother's fiancé) has now a flag on his car:




In a couple of hours, we will know who will be our opponent on Friday, but I'm pretty sure it will be Argentina!

Wow! What an awesome match! I suffered in front of the TV, and in many times, I thought Mexico would win, but we finally made it! Both teams did it great...

Go Argentina!!

I'm not so confident about the next match against Germany, though...
